thanks to Demetz for giving me this idea while chatting

To my child

childhood not forgotten
rejection, pain and suffering
I walked in the forest alone
I lived through it
I survived through the tears

growing up learning about yourself
is being blind that bad ?
is being gay good ?
those thoughts troubled me for a time
As I walked that forest alone and acceoted myself

one day I'll be a father
this child will never be mine
I can't risk it
not willing to pass my genes
I'll walk my forest alone

To my child that I will never have
you would be smart and strong like me
but I dare not take the risk
having rocks thrown to your heart
I'll remain alone in my forest

you will never be mine
you're from another
I'll quit being lonely and strong
I'll join you in your forest
the three of us

you're the child I never had and never will
you're from his seeds
beautiful, smart and funny
your dad is french and canadian
I'll walk with the two of you

those things I will say
the day we decide to have a kid
you'll be close to us
sheltered in our arms if need be
you'll never walk a forest alone..

*clings tightly* Beautiful, absolutely beautiful.

Really lovely poem. I was going to say that you know, there are a lot of people who are afraid to have child because of their genes, but when they do have kids whether through adoption or by other means, they don't think about genes, they just think about love. I understand your fears and you express them well, but I bet you forget them the minute you see that child, heh.

hmm... a very interesting poem... and clearly very personal as well...

and I am the muse for it too!

The emotions really shine through in this poem, Jason. As always, I'm looking forward to reading more of your poetry

Thanks Rose



Yea you got a point there I'll give you that, you're right I'll probably forget it the minute I see my child either through adoption or through Sacha...



Well all my poetry is a reflection of myself and what I feel at a certain moment... guess it's my way to have people to really know me

I'm glad that you wrote that line during our chat... strange how one sentence can bring you a flood of writing

as for more poetry you'll get some quite soon... that's my only skill when it comes to writing


Thank you guys (and girls ) for all those comments it's really appreciated
